No, it compresses data in RAM, so whatever you have in ram takes up less space there.

    The entire article and all slides talk about faster decompression speeds using CRAM, at no point does it reference greater compression ratios. It also references using RAM instead of swap space (hard disk) to increase speeds.

    Can you point out where you're getting your info from?
